Happy birthday for a great looking corvette. Are you going to the Perth nationals 2018 ? Your vette looks sweet with the p02s.

seriously thinking about it,
did Canberra '15 and Bendigo '16,
gave this year in Sydney a miss due loosing both parents a month apart of each other just after xmas/january,.
there's a group from SA club interested in going over,
drive the 2700km (about 1680 mile) over, also do extra cruise days, then fly home with the vette on the back of a truck.
petrol stops every 400k's (250mile) will be the killer along with the long drive days.

Hi r au,
Car looks really nice in the photos!
It's difficult to believe it's 45 years old.
I hope it continues to give you lots of pleasure.
Regards,
Alan
